Italy Holidays
What Italy holidays look like:
Delicious food, amazing scenery, golden beaches, and a plethora of iconic cities: it's easy to see why holidays to Italy continue to draw the crowds. This boot-shaped nation is brimming with exciting experiences and once-in-a-lifetime sights.
There's romance in the air on a city break to Venice or Rome, Pisa and Florence offer cultural attractions aplenty, while Tuscany's sunshine makes relaxation easy - Italy holidays really do have something for everyone.
Add to all of this a warm welcome, plates piled high with pasta, and some of the best gelato in the world and you’ve got the recipe for an unforgettable holiday in Italy.
Where is the best place to stay in?
Discover beautiful beaches on the Neapolitan Riviera, iconic glamour on the Amalfi Coast, and laid-back island life on Sicily and Sardinia. For breathtaking scenery, tasty local wine, and beautiful hotels; Lake Garda is hard to beat.
Sorrento nestles on the Amalfi Coast and is your gateway to a varied line-up of small and friendly hotels, boat trips to the nearby island of Capri, and sipping glasses of locally-made Limoncello in the café-lined Piazza Tasso.
Rome is the ultimate city-break; whether it's exploring iconic Vatican City, the Colosseum and the Pantheon, snapping a selfie on the Spanish Steps, or tossing the obligatory coins in the Trevi Fountain.

Holidays to Italy are full of spine-tingling experiences. From the mesmerising architecture in Rome and Florence to the Leaning Tower of Pisa and the Sistine Chapel; this place is packed with must-see sights.
Not forgetting the Amalfi Coast's amazing views, Venice's canals, the ruins of Pompeii, and Tuscany's unspoilt countryside. Of course, many Italy holidays are all about relaxing on beautiful beaches or challenging yourself to water sports in the coastal resorts.

Food & Drink
One of the best things about Italy holidays is the food and drink. Italian cuisine is loved the world over but is best enjoyed in its homeland. From pasta dishes, fresh pizzas, and seafood by the sea and wine made with locally grown grapes; dining out in Italy is a true event.
When it comes to desserts, tuck into sweet treats like Tiramisu and Gelato. The epitome of a meal out in Italy is of course dining al fresco, what could be better than all of that delicious food, eaten by candlelight beneath the stars? Bellissimo!

What is there to do in Italy?
1. See Mount Vesuvius. This is one of the most famous mountains in the world because of its famous eruption that covered Pompeii. Nowadays it is not active anymore and is safe to climb. This is perfect for those who want to test their endurance and see an amazing view.
2. Experience the Uffizi Gallery. This art gallery in Florence is a must see for anyone interested in art. This gallery features many art pieces made by Leonardo da Vinci, Raphael and Michelangelo. Their artwork will impress even those who are not that interested in art, and it may spark your love of art.
3. Visit the Colosseum. If you are planning to go to Rome the Colosseum is a must as it would not be a trip without seeing such an amazing piece of history that is still here today preserved for all of us to see.
4. Take in Pompeii. The famous city has many pieces of history on display for all visitors to see. This ranges from well preserved houses, bath houses and relics. This is a great place for those wanting to have a historical trip.
When is the best time of the year to visit?
The best time for those who want to go the beach, go shopping or eat at restaurants is the summer and spring. During this time the temperature gets warmer and everything is open which leads to have a large amount of choice on what to do and see while enjoying the wonderful weather. For those looking for excitement with history, art and Italy’s wine, the late summer and early autumn are perfect for this as the warmth will lower leaving cooler temperatures and good weather to view art and the open-air museums in.
What are the popular locations to visit?
Rome is a great place to visit as it is probably the first city you think of when you think of a famous historic city. This is for a good reason because Rome has been around for 28 centuries and as it has developed over time it has developed what it can offer to visitors. Sights such as the Colosseum, the Vatican Museums and Sistine Chapel. For first time visitors Rome is amazing.
